MUSE® technology
Multiplex Universal Signal Enhancement
Biomarker detection is often restricted by sensitivity (critical for low-abundance biomarkers as HER2-low or smFISH on FFPE), specificity (batch variation of secondary antibodies) and multiplexing possibilities.
MUSE® (Multiplex Universal Signal Enhancement) technology was invented to overcome these difficulties.
MUSE® is an enzyme-free self-assembling DNA nanotechnology which can be used to detect several proteins as well as nucleic acids, from 1-plex to 7-plex in one cycle.
MUSE® can be applied in a variety of assays: IHC, IF, FISH, IMC, FACS and more.

MUSE®- how does it work?
Our patented MUSE® reaction drives the enzyme-free assembly of hyperbranched polymers that attach numerous fluorophores, chromogenic enzymes or alternative contrast agents to probe-ligand complexes. The MUSE® reaction is error-corrected by a key and lock molecular mechanism that ensures precise background control and orthogonality and a very low signal-to-noise ratio.
MUSE® is a robust, quick and simple reaction: two steps, room temperature, no enzymes, no specialized equipment.
